Behind the blackjack tables at Palace Station awaits a lesson for many Americans who think they like traditional Chinese food. At Food Express II, only the language on the menu concedes to Western influence. Here — as back in owner Chi Leung’s Cantonese hometown — pork is served with skin, rice is brown only because it’s fried, and chop suey … what’s that?
